HI,

I would so love to win these – I live in NZ and I’ve never found this books in NZ. Would cost me quite a bit to get them new via the States.

As I live in NZ, if I win, I’m happy to pay the postage :-)

Cheers, Wilm

When I was first married 13 years ago we received a year’s subscription as a gift. I learned so much.

Now I have recently left my job to be home. This couldn’t have come at a better time! I’m also bookmarking your site as I am finding as many ways as I can to be “frugal” myself!!

And Clark Howard?…. a favorite at our house too. :-)
